If you block outbound connections you won't be able to connect (of course)... I'm not following you...
Maybe you should use an easier and more configurable firewall, with both inbound and outbound protection.

Or you could also use Vista Firewall Control to make using the built in firewall easier.
The free version is used by quite a few people.

Hi, I don't use vista's firewall but shouldn't you use "private" or "public" ?
Here is a thread on how to set up vista's outbound http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=239750
IMO bob3160 answer seems easier though. Hope this helps
